Possible, but I'd be surprised. That's a pretty expensive (relatively) way
of doing a simple timer function. Actually, I was looking at my post and
noticed I didn't complete a sentence. I was going to say that I'm surprised
Mead used two clocks, given there's a 16Mhz 68301 processor in it. Just what
do they do with all those cycles?
